Re: Susan Abernathy b.1828

Patty, You may have all this information, but I'm passing along an answer I sent to someone else looking for connections.......They were actuall looking for Martha Frances Scott Latty......but maybe this will help you too. Jack Latty

Marty, all I have is the following, taken from page 2 of the "history" compiled by Ila Chastain..."Folk lore tells us William with his young wife and two toddlers left Tennessee on that dreaded "trail of tears" with a ten-wagon caravan.Info from older family members and court records lead me to believe that our Wm. Latty Family traveled through the wilderness with Latty families and other related families, thought to be Tyner's and Bradshaw's.I have not proven William's parents but now believe that his parents are ______ _______ and Nancy (Latty) Latty.His Grandparents were JOHN & MARTHA FRANCES (Scott) LATTY.One thing I have found in researching the Indian Rolls at the Public Library...there were several Cherokee names that apparently could be translated as Latty, so Nancy having been a Latty and marrying another Latty within the Cherokee Nation, is very plausible.I wish I could give you more, but I've been slowed on research by some illness within the family.
